[05:13] <katol> hello, i want to
[05:13] <katol> setup an apache balancer on ec2
[05:17] <katol> right now i'm using public hostnames but i would like to use the ec2 hostnames
[10:08] <cossovich> hello peeps.
[10:08] <cossovich> I'm joining the ec2 fun and running some tests. Loving it.
[11:04] <cossovich> I'm using one of the canonical AMIs on ec2 (hardy heron).... I'm looking for some docs on the sudo password... does anyone have any tips?
[11:31] <cossovich> ok so sudo isn't shipping with a password...  I should of guessed that.
[16:47] <koan> hi erichammond, many thanks for your awesome ec2ubuntu-build-ami script, it just works!
[16:53] <macstar> anyone tell me / point me to somewhere on how to enable root login on the canonical ubuntu images
[16:53] <macstar> please :)
[18:22] <agussman> Potentially stupid question, is it possible to run 32 bit AMIs on the large (64bit) instances?
[18:22] <erichammond> agussman: Nope.
[18:22] <agussman> erichammond: thanks!
[18:24] <erichammond> macstar: See the "root ssh" section of http://alestic.com/2009/04/ubuntu-ec2-sudo-ssh-rsync
[18:32] <agussman> erichammond:  Do you happen to know why that is?  I was under the impression that 32bit guest OSs can be run on 64bit host OSs in Xen.
[22:07] <erichammond> agussman: Amazon does not share details about the hows and whys of their internal implementations.
[22:07] <agussman> erichammond: thanks for the response (and your AMIs!).  I found something of an answer in the in the "Instance Types and Architectures FAQ"
[22:07] <agussman> e.g. "Nope."
[22:13] <erichammond> agussman: I might also mention that I've seen a number of folks requesting the ability to run the same AMI across a larger set of instance types, though they tend to want 64-bit on smaller instances.
[22:13] <erichammond> Amazon is pretty good about listening to customers; you can add your voice on the EC2 forum http://ec2forum.notlong.com perhaps tagging on to an existing thread on the topic.
